Recording of the development session to confirm that the change was not prepared by AI

Submitted by

The maintainer of the Dillo web browser has proposed a method for filtering out AI-generated changes. The Dillo project only accepts human-generated patches, but parsing submitted changes is time-consuming, and it's not always immediately clear whether a patch was created by a human. To simplify the filtering of AI-generated patches, contributors submitting changes to the project for the first time are offered proof of work. […]

The Pavona project is developing a distribution of open-source hardware components for chip design.

Submitted by

The GlobalPlatform consortium announced the Pavona project, developing an open source hardware component distribution that can be used to assemble production-ready, secure chips based on RISC-V microarchitecture cores. The distribution provides a modular library of IP blocks and reference chip implementations, ready for certification and verified for production suitability (tapeout-proven).
